DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification, the term "visible direction" refers to the face direction of a glass panel in a fixture placed in an opening in a building. In the visible direction, the horizontal direction is referred to as the left-right direction. The term "visible direction" refers to the thickness direction of the glass panel (i.e., the depth direction). In this embodiment, a case will be described in which a glass panel is used as an example of a surface material. The surface material is not limited to a glass panel.

[0009] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the fitting 1 of the first embodiment is a bathroom door installed in an opening formed in a modular bathroom (not shown) in a building. The fitting 1 is configured as a so-called sliding shoji screen, and as shown in Figure 1, it comprises a frame 2, an inner shoji screen 3 (shoji screen) and an outer shoji screen 4 (shoji screen) fitted into the frame 2 so that they can be opened and closed, and a bathroom ventilation structure 7 (see Figure 2). In this embodiment, the sliding shoji screen that is located on the bathroom side X1 is referred to as the inner shoji screen 3, and the shoji screen that is located on the changing room side X2 is referred to as the outer shoji screen 4. The fitting 1 can open and close the opening in the frame 2 using the inner shoji screen 3 and outer shoji screen 4.

[0010] The frame 2 is installed in an opening formed in a unit bath (not shown) as a building. Inside the unit bath, a bathroom space is formed in which a waterproof pan 111, a bathtub (not shown), etc. are installed, as shown in Fig. 2. The opening of the unit bath connects the bathroom to a dressing room.

[0011] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the frame body 2 is framed in a rectangular shape by an upper frame 21, a lower frame 22, and left and right vertical frames 23, 24. The upper frame 21 is formed in an elongated shape extending in the left-right direction at the upper part of the frame body 2. The lower frame 22 is formed in an elongated shape extending in the left-right direction at the lower part of the frame body 2. The left and right vertical frames 23, 24 extend in the up-down direction at both left-right end portions of the upper frame 21 and the lower frame 22.

[0012] As shown in Figure 3, the vertical frame 23 has a hollow structure: a vertical-frame bathroom-side intake 231 provided on the bathroom side X1, and a vertical-frame changing room-side intake 232 provided on the changing room side X2. The vertical-frame bathroom-side intake 231 and the vertical-frame changing room-side intake 232 are arranged side by side in the viewing direction and are formed into a frame shape that opens toward the inner periphery of the frame body 2. The door stile 44 of the outer shoji screen 4 can be accommodated in the recess 233 formed by the vertical-frame bathroom-side intake 231 and the vertical-frame changing room-side intake 232.

[0013] Similarly, as shown in Figure 3, the vertical frame 24 has a hollow structure: a vertical-frame bathroom-side intake 241 provided on the bathroom side X1, and a vertical-frame changing room-side intake 242 provided on the changing room side X2. The vertical-frame bathroom-side intake 241 and the vertical-frame changing room-side intake 242 are arranged side by side in the viewing direction and are formed into a frame shape that opens toward the inner periphery of the frame body 2. The door edge frame 34 of the inner shoji screen 3 can be accommodated in the recess 243 formed by the vertical-frame bathroom-side intake 241 and the vertical-frame changing room-side intake 242.

[0014] The inner shoji screen 3 and the outer shoji screen 4 can slide within the frame body 2. Both the inner shoji screen 3 and the outer shoji screen 4 are sliding doors, and by sliding them left and right, the opening inside the frame body 2 can be opened or closed, forming what is known as a sliding shoji screen.

[0015] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, each of the inner shoji screens 3 comprises a rectangular frame body 35 formed by a long, narrow upper frame 31, a lower frame 32, a joint frame 33 (frame), and a door end frame 34 (frame), and a glass panel 36 (face material) fitted and fixed into the frame body 35. The glass panel 36 is fitted and fixed into the narrow frames (upper frame 31, lower frame 32, joint frame 33, and door end frame 34), and the inner shoji screen 3 has a sleek design.

[0016] Each outer shoji screen 4 is comprised of a rectangular frame body 45 formed by a long, narrow upper frame 41, a lower frame 42, a joint frame 43 (frame), and a door end frame 44 (frame), and a glass panel 46 (face material) fitted and fixed into the frame body 45. The glass panel 46 is fitted and fixed into the narrow frames (upper frame 41, lower frame 42, joint frame 43, and door end frame 44), and the outer shoji screen 4 has a clean design.

[0017] As shown in Figure 2, the upper frame 21 has an upper frame bathroom-side inlet 211 provided on the bathroom side X1 and an upper frame changing room-side inlet 212 provided on the changing room side X2. The upper frame bathroom-side inlet 211 and the upper frame changing room-side inlet 212 are arranged side by side in the viewing direction and are formed into a frame shape that opens downward. The upper end of the upper frame stile 31 of the inner shoji screen 3 is inserted into the upper frame bathroom-side inlet 211. The upper end of the upper frame stile 41 of the outer shoji screen 4 is inserted into the upper frame changing room-side inlet 212.

[0018] As shown in Figure 2, the lower frame 22 has a lower frame main body 5 and a lower frame slope member 6 (lower frame upper member) arranged above the lower frame main body 5. Both the lower frame main body 5 and the lower frame slope member 6 are formed in an elongated shape extending in the left-right direction and extend a predetermined length in the projection direction. The lower frame 22 is provided with a bathroom ventilation structure 7.

[0019] The bathroom ventilation structure 7 comprises a lower frame body 5 and lower frame slope member 6 that constitute the lower frame 22, a first slat 72, and a water-stopping material 75. The lower frame body 5 extends in the projection direction so as to straddle a waterproof pan 111 in the bathroom and a dressing room-side floor material 112 in the dressing room. The upper surface of the lower frame body 5 is formed in a stepped shape.

[0020] The lower frame body 5 has a hollow lower end hollow portion 51 provided at the lower end of the lower frame body 5 and extending in the projection direction, a bathroom-side extension portion 52 extending from the bathroom-side X1 end of the lower end hollow portion 51 toward the bathroom side X1, a step portion 53 extending upward from the changing room side X2 end of the lower end hollow portion 51, a changing room side extension portion 54 extending from the upper end of the step portion 53 toward the changing room side X2, and a protruding piece 55 protruding from the upper end of the step portion 53 toward the bathroom side X1. The bathroom-side X1 end of the bathroom-side extension portion 52 is located on the upper surface of the bathroom waterproof pan 111. The changing room side X2 end of the changing room side extension portion 54 is located on the upper surface of the changing room side floor material 112.

[0021] A water-stopping material 541 extending from the vertical frame 23 to the vertical frame 24 is provided in the portion of the changing room-side extending portion 54 above the end of the lower hollow portion 51 on the changing room side X2. In this embodiment, the water-stopping material 541 is made of, for example, a rectangular plate-shaped airtight material. The shape of the airtight material making up the water-stopping material 541 is not limited to a rectangular shape. The lower end of the water-stopping material 541 abuts watertightly against the upper surface of the changing room-side extending portion 54.

[0022] 3, one longitudinal end of the water-stopping material 541 passes through a through-hole formed in the inner wall 234 of the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 232 that constitutes the hollow section 235 of the hollow structure that constitutes the vertical frame 23, and is located in the internal space of the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 232. The other longitudinal end of the water-stopping material 541 passes through a through-hole formed in the inner wall 244 of the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 242 that constitutes the hollow section 245 of the hollow structure that constitutes the vertical frame 24, and is located in the internal space of the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 242.

[0023] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, end covers 542 are provided between one end of the water-stopping material 541 and the inner wall portions forming the through holes of the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 232 and the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 242. The end covers 542 are arranged to fill gaps between the water-stopping material 541 at the through holes and the inner wall portions of the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 232 and the inner wall portions of the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 242, respectively, and to cover the bathroom-side X1 surface and the outer surface and upper end surface of the one end and the other end of the water-stopping material 541 on the changing-room side X2. This provides a watertight seal between the water-stopping material 541 and the inner wall portions of the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 232 and the vertical-frame changing-room-side swallow 242, through which the through holes for the water-stopping material 541 pass.

[0024] This makes it possible to prevent water from the bathroom side X1 from flowing over the top surface of the dressing room side extension 54 and into the dressing room side X2. This allows for a highly watertight bathroom door fitting 1. Furthermore, because the water-stopping material 541 is arranged along the bottom frames 32, 42 from one vertical frame 23 to the other vertical frame 24, it is possible to create a configuration that is unified with the bottom frames 32, 42, thereby improving the design.

[0025] Furthermore, since the water-stopping material 541 penetrates the inner wall 234 of the vertical frame 23 and the inner wall 244 of the vertical frame 24 and extends into the internal space of the hollow portion 245, the longitudinal dimension of the water-stopping material 541 can be ensured to be longer than the distance between the inner wall 234 and the inner wall 244, and it is possible to reliably increase watertightness even if the water-stopping material 541 undergoes thermal shrinkage, etc.

[0026] Because end cover 542 is provided, it is possible to prevent water stop material 541 from being damaged or cut by the inner wall of vertical frame changing room side swallow 232 and the inner wall of vertical frame changing room side swallow 242, where the through hole through which water stop material 541 passes is formed. This part also makes it possible to prevent injury to the user of fitting 1. Furthermore, it is possible to make the part where water stop material 541 passes through the through hole invisible to the user, which makes it possible to improve the appearance and enhance the design.

[0027] The water-stopping material 541 and the changing room-side extension 54 of the lower frame body 5 have the same color. In this embodiment, they are, for example, black or black silver. This allows for a unified configuration from the water-stopping material 541 provided on the changing room-side extension 54 to the other water-stopping material 541, allowing for a continuous, unified configuration toward the bathroom interior, improving the appearance and design.

[0028] The dressing room-side extension 54 of the lower frame body 5 and the end cover 542 are the same color. This allows for a unified design from the dressing room-side extension 54 to the end cover 542, creating a continuous, unified design toward the bathroom interior, improving the appearance and design.

[0029] The water-stopping material 541 and the edge cover 542 have the same color, which allows for a unified look from the water-stopping material 541 to the edge cover 542, and allows for a continuous, unified look toward the bathroom interior, improving the appearance and design.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2, the height H1 of the water-stopping material 541 in the vertical direction is lower than the height H2 of the bottom frame 42 of the outer shoji screen 4 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the upper end of the water-stopping material 541 is located lower in the vertical direction than the upper end of the bottom frame 42 of the outer shoji screen 4. This makes it possible to prevent the water-stopping material 541 from standing out against the bottom frame 42, and makes it possible to align the water-stopping material 541 with the bottom frame 42 in terms of design. As a result, it is possible to prevent the design from becoming poor.

[0031] The lower frame slope member 6 is formed as a long plate extending in the left-right direction and extends a predetermined length in the projection direction. The lower frame slope member 6 is positioned above the lower frame main body 5, forming a space K that forms a ventilation passage 71 between it and the lower frame main body 5. The ventilation passage 71 is provided between the lower frame main body 5 and the lower frame slope member 6, and connects the bathroom and the dressing room.

[0032] 2, the lower frame slope member 6 has a changing room side extension portion 60, a guide recess 61, a bathroom side extension portion 62, a sloped slope portion 63, and a changing room side end sloped protrusion piece 64. The changing room side extension portion 60, the guide recess 61, the bathroom side extension portion 62, and the sloped slope portion 63 are arranged in this order from the changing room side X2 toward the bathroom side X1.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2, the guide recess 61 is formed in a frame shape with a recessed upper side. The guide recess 61 is arranged below the inner shoji screen 3 and the outer shoji screen 4. The lower end protrusion 3a of the inner shoji screen 3 and the lower end protrusion 4a of the outer shoji screen 4 are arranged in the guide recess 61. The guide recess 61 is provided with a guide member 611 that is T-shaped in vertical cross section and that guides the lower ends of the inner shoji screen 3 and outer shoji screen 4, which can slide.

[0034] The changing room-side extending portion 60 extends horizontally toward the changing room side X2 for a predetermined length from the end of the guide recess 61 on the changing room side X2. The bathroom-side extending portion 62 extends horizontally toward the bathroom side X1 for a predetermined length from the end of the guide recess 61 on the bathroom side X1. The sloped portion 63 extends downwardly toward the bathroom side X1 for a predetermined length from the end of the bathroom side X1 of the bathroom-side extending portion 62 on the bathroom side X1.

[0035] The changing room side end inclined protruding piece 64 protrudes downward at the end of the changing room side X2 of the changing room side extending portion 60. The changing room side end inclined protruding piece 64 inclines downward as it moves from the changing room side X2 toward the bathroom side X1.

[0036] The lower frame slope member 6 is positioned away from the upper end of the step portion 53 of the lower frame main body 5 toward the bathroom side X1 in the projection direction. As shown in Figure 2, the lower frame slope member 6 is positioned with a space K between it and the lower frame main body 5.

[0037] Space K forms a ventilation passage 71 that connects the bathroom and the changing room. The ventilation passage 71 forms a ventilation mechanism and is formed extending in the projection direction of the fixture 1. The ventilation passage 71 has a bathroom-side opening 711 formed on the bathroom side X1 and a changing room-side opening 712 formed on the changing room side X2.

[0038] The bathroom-side opening 711 is an opening provided on the bathroom side X1 of the ventilation passage 71, and is formed on the bathroom side X1 between the waterproof pan 111 and the end of the lower frame slope member 6 on the bathroom side X1. The changing room-side opening 712 is an opening provided on the changing room side X2 of the ventilation passage 71, and is formed between the end of the lower frame slope member 6 on the changing room side X2 and the step portion 53 of the lower frame main body 5. The changing room-side opening 712 opens upward. The bathroom ventilation structure 7 ventilates the bathroom through the ventilation passage 71.

[0039] The lower frame body 5 has a protruding piece 55 that protrudes from the upper end of the step portion 53 toward the bathroom side X1. The protruding piece 55 protrudes from the upper end of the step portion 53 of the lower frame body 5 toward the changing room side opening 712 so as to block part of the changing room side opening 712. The protruding piece 55 is formed in an L-shape that opens downward. The protruding piece 55 can, to a certain extent, prevent water that breaks through the first slats 72 in the ventilation passage 71 and flows into the changing room side X2 from overflowing from the changing room side opening 712.

[0040] 2, a first slat 72 is disposed in the ventilation passage 71. The first slat 72 is attached to a slat attachment member 81.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 2, the slat mounting member 81 is provided above the lower frame main body 5. A gap S is formed between the slat mounting member 81 and the lower frame main body 5, thereby forming a gap S between the first slat 72 and the lower frame main body 5. The slat mounting member 81 is fixed to the lower frame slope member 6 with a gap S formed between it and the lower frame main body 5.

[0042] The first slat 72 is attached to the slat mounting members 81 in each of the two ventilation units 8 at both the left and right ends shown in Figure 4, and is fixed to the lower frame slope member 6 via the slat mounting members 81. The two ventilation units 8 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction (longitudinal direction) on the upper surface of the lower frame main body 5, and are detachably attached to the lower frame main body 5. A central unit 91 is arranged between the two ventilation units 8 and is fixed non-detachably to the lower frame main body 5.

[0043] As shown in Figures 2 and 5, the ventilation unit 8 each has a lower frame slope member 6, a slat mounting member 81 to which the first slat 72 is attached, a pair of end support caps 82 (end support members), and an intermediate support member not shown.

[0044] The slat mounting member 81 is disposed below the lower frame slope member 6 and extends in the left-right direction (longitudinal direction) of the lower frame slope member 6. The slat mounting member 81 is fixed to the lower frame slope member 6 via a pair of end support caps 82 and an intermediate support member (not shown), with a gap S (see FIG. 2) formed between the slat mounting member 81 and the lower frame main body 5. The formation of the gap S between the slat mounting member 81 and the lower frame main body 5 allows water to flow smoothly from the dressing room side X2 to the bathroom side X1 through the gap S between the slat mounting member 81 and the lower frame main body 5.

[0045] The intermediate support member is formed at the left-right center of the lower frame slope member 6, extending in the projection direction. The intermediate support member (not shown) reinforces the strength of the lower frame slope member 6 and can support the load when the bathroom side X1 of the lower frame slope member 6 is stepped on. The intermediate support member (not shown) is fitted into the left-right center of the underside of the lower frame slope member 6. The intermediate support member supports the left-right center of the ventilation unit 8 on the upper surface of the lower frame main body 5.

[0046] The pair of end support caps 82 are attached to both ends in the left-right direction (longitudinal direction) of the lower frame slope member 6. The pair of end support caps 82 are each formed to extend in the projection direction.

[0047] The central unit 91 is placed and fixed on the bathroom-side extension 52 by sandwiching a plate-shaped airtight material 92 placed on the bathroom-side extension 52 between a pair of end support caps 82 and the bathroom-side extension 52. Furthermore, the central unit 91 does not form a ventilation passage 71 formed by the space K between the lower frame slope member 6 and the lower frame main body 5 that constitute the ventilation unit 8, and therefore does not form a bathroom-side opening 711 formed on the bathroom side X1 or a changing room-side opening 712 formed on the changing room side X2. Therefore, a watertight and airtight sealed space is formed between the central unit 91 and the bathroom-side extension 52 on which the airtight material 92 is placed.

[0048] As shown in Figure 5, the central unit 91 has a slope similar to the lower frame slope member 6, and when the left and right ventilation units 8 and the central unit 91 are arranged in a straight line on the lower frame main body 5, the upper surfaces of the ventilation units 8 and the central unit 91, in either position, extend horizontally for a predetermined length from the dressing room side X2 to the bathroom side X1, and then extend downwardly for a predetermined length to the bathroom side X1.

[0049] The central unit 91 has a pair of end support caps 82 (end support members), an inner shoji sway stopper 911, and an outer shoji sway stopper 912. The pair of end support caps 82 are attached to both ends in the left-right direction (longitudinal direction) of the central unit 91. Each of the pair of end support caps 82 is formed to extend in the projection direction.

[0050] The inner shoji sway stopper 911 is inserted into a groove (not shown) that is U-shaped and opens at the lower end of the bottom frame 32 of the inner shoji 3, has a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the bottom frame 32, and is movable relative to the bottom frame 32 in which the groove is formed. The outer shoji sway stopper 912 is inserted into a groove (not shown) that is U-shaped and opens at the lower end of the bottom frame 42 of the outer shoji 4, has a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the bottom frame 42, and is movable relative to the bottom frame 42 in which the groove is formed.

[0051] The ventilation unit 8 on one side of the front view can be removed by sliding the inner shoji screen 3 and the outer shoji screen 4 inside the frame body 2 to one side of the front view (for example, the vertical frame 23 side). Also, the ventilation unit 8 on one side of the front view can be removed by sliding the inner shoji screen 3 and the outer shoji screen 4 inside the frame body 2 to the other side of the front view (for example, the vertical frame 24 side).

[0052] However, with regard to the central unit 91, when the inner shoji 3 and outer shoji 4 are slid within the frame body 2, the inner shoji sway stopper 911 is always engaged with the groove in the bottom frame 32 of the inner shoji 3, and the outer shoji sway stopper 912 is always engaged with the groove in the bottom frame 42 of the outer shoji 4. For this reason, it is not easy to attach or detach the central unit 91 to or from the lower frame body 5. However, as described above, a watertight and airtight sealed space is formed between the central unit 91 and the bathroom-side extension part 52 on which the airtight material 92 is placed, so the central unit 91 can be removed and cleaning is not required.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 4, the first slat 72 is attached to a slat mounting member 81, and receives water flowing into the ventilation passage 71 from the bathroom side X1, reducing the amount of water flowing into the changing room side X2.

[0054] The first slat board 72 is arranged, for example, on the bathroom side X1 from the position where the inner shoji screen 3 is arranged in the view direction of the ventilation passage 71. In the lower part of the ventilation passage 71, the first slat board 72 is arranged on the bathroom side X1.

[0055] The first slat 72 has a pivot shaft 72a formed at one end thereof, which is attached to the first slat mounting portion 812 of the slat mounting member 81 at the bottom of the ventilation passage 71. The first slat 72 can rotate around the pivot shaft 72a when it receives water moving through the ventilation passage 71 from the bathroom side X1 to the dressing room side X2.

[0056] Before receiving water, first slat 72 extends linearly from pivot shaft 72a toward bathroom side X1. When a relatively small amount of water flows into ventilation passage 71 from bathroom-side opening 711 on bathroom side X1 of ventilation passage 71, first slat 72 is a component that rotates about pivot shaft 72a to receive the water that has flowed into ventilation passage 71. An example of a relatively small amount of water is shower water sprayed by a shower device (not shown).

[0057] When the first slat plate 72 rotates a predetermined angle, its tip abuts against the underside of the lower frame slope member 6. The first slat plate 72 is set to a rotation angle and length that suppresses the inflow of a relatively small amount of water, such as from a shower. The rotation angle and length in the projection direction of the first slat plate 72 are set appropriately.

[0058] The water stopping material 75, with its tip in a deformed state, comes into contact with the waterproof pan 111. The water stopping material 75, with its tip in contact with the waterproof pan 111, ensures airtightness and watertightness.

[0059] While the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified as appropriate.

[0060] In the embodiments, the fittings according to the present disclosure have been described as fittings equipped with a sliding shoji screen that opens and closes an opening. The present disclosure is also applicable to fittings equipped with a single sliding door (shoji screen) or two or more sliding doors (shoji screens). The present disclosure is also applicable to hinged doors and folding doors that open and close in an arc relative to the opening. The present disclosure is also applicable to sliding windows, vertical sliding windows, horizontal sliding windows, etc. The present disclosure is not limited to fittings installed in an opening that connects a bathroom and a dressing room. It may also be applied to fittings installed in a building opening that connects the inside and outside of a building.

[0061] Also, for example, the shoji screens are not limited to the inner shoji screen 3 and outer shoji screen 4 in this embodiment. For example, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the lower end of the door frame 34A of the inner shoji screen 3A and the door frame 43A of the outer shoji screen 4A may have through-hole recesses 341A and 431A, respectively, which are not shown and into which the inner shoji screen swing stopper 911 and the outer shoji screen swing stopper 912 are inserted, and which open to the outside of the frame body 35 and the frame body 45. Note that similar through-hole recesses, not shown, are also formed at the lower end of the door frame 34A of the inner shoji screen 3A and the door frame 4A of the outer shoji screen 4A, but these are configured symmetrically to the through-hole recesses 341A and 431A in the left-right direction of the view direction, so their description will be omitted.

[0062] The through recesses 341A and 431A are formed in a U-shape that opens downward at the lower end of the door end frame 34A and the door joint frame 43A, respectively. The through recesses 341A and 431A allow the inner shoji sway stopper 911 and the outer shoji sway stopper 912 to pass through, respectively. The central unit 91 is removably placed on the lower frame body 5 (see Figure 5).

[0063] This makes it possible to remove the central unit 91 from the lower frame body 5 and clean the central unit 91 and the portion of the lower frame body 5 on which the central unit 91 was placed. In this case, the airtight material 92 is not provided because it is not necessary.

[0064] When cleaning, as shown in Figure 6, first move the inner shoji 3A and outer shoji 4A onto one of the ventilation units 8 and the central unit 91. Next, remove the other ventilation unit 8 from the lower frame body 5. Next, as shown in Figure 7, slide the central unit 91 over the lower frame body 5 to the part of the lower frame body 5 where the other ventilation unit 8 was placed, and remove the inner shoji sway stopper 911 and outer shoji sway stopper 912 through the through recess 341A and through recess 431A, and remove them outside the inner shoji 3A and outer shoji 4A beyond the door edge frame 34A and the outer shoji 4A joint frame 43A. Then, clean the central unit 91 and the part of the lower frame body 5 where the central unit 91 was placed. [Explanation of symbols]
